In this episode, we welcome a very special guest: Solar Shrink®, the technology redefining agricultural mulching. Today, we sit down with its creators, Mark and Robert Trenchard, to explore how this solution is transforming crop performance and field efficiency.

Learn how this innovative idea came to life, what major challenges it solves compared to traditional mulch films, and why its unique design allows the plastic to shrink in a controlled way under solar radiation, creating a tight, uniform fit to the soil. We discuss strength, installation, machinery compatibility, sustainability, and the direct benefits farmers are experiencing in real production systems.

We also address some of the most frequently asked questions from one of our recent webinars:

• Can it be installed inside a greenhouse?
• Does it work on flat soil or only on raised beds?
• Can it be installed manually?
• What real-world results are growers reporting?

If you want to understand how technologies like Solar Shrink® are shaping the future of agricultural mulching, making it more efficient, lighter, and more sustainable, this episode is for you.
